LoL, the xbox speculation thread is still going strong

I just wanted to reiterate what Fusker said earlier today, and to add some new information about the Hitachi-LG drives.

    * As of right now, NO 65nm consoles have left the factory, nor are 65nm consoles going to be leaving the factory anytime soon.
    * The Halo 3 consoles will NOT HAVE 65nm.
    * There are QC issues with the 65nm CPUs. Consoles with the 65nm are getting the RoD after only a few hours of use. More info on this later.
    * The new heatsinks may be on backorder, so refurbs might not be coming with them for now.
    * Most Hitachi-LG DVD drives will fail within the first year of use. If you can, get a BenQ.

I'll have more info later.

hahahahaha..been reading the link given by haris...and now..almost all 360 users that posted there r hoping for the 3rod.....to enable them to get the replacement with the new spec...several of them r withholding the shipment for warranty claims until september to ensure they r getting the new spec too...and what amaze me..the process of warranty claims have been improved tremendously..smooth as silk with an extra gidt if it is getting delayed....hats on to Microsoft...too bad..we r not covered it here...cant wait to get my Halo edition direct from Spore for full 3 year warranty...I guess that the best option for me now....

Yeah, we are NOT COVERED here !!!

MS needs to really really support us. Afterall xbox 360 is damn fragile. Who wants to gamble RM1500? Even if they solve the RRoD, how about scratch disc?

Alternative to that is buying from SG. Good luck silencer. Ah! I really want to know how to get a 360 from SG? Do you pay tax? How much? Or can we just tampal sticker saying "REPAIRED" and try to convince the custom official that it is not brand new.

Most xbox 360 bought here are from Singapore. Same thing cept probably a little cheaper there. But with transport, etc could be the same thing.

Btw Silencer, why the hell do you want the Halo 3 Special Edition 360? Don't waste money man. Get the elite or something. Or wait for the new batches in a couple of months.

Buy me one too smile.gif

Just to add fuel to da fire !!!

Xbox Scene : Falcon Xbox360 Motherboard: This Fall, 65nm CPU but still 90nm GPU

Exclusive: What Microsoft's Falcon project is going to mean for when you should buy an Xbox 360

QUOTE
So Falcon is coming later than expected. But I have confirmed that it is coming. In July, Microsoft's hardware team was in the midst of qualifying Falcon and the IBM 65-nm microprocessor so that it could get all the bugs out. Now those chips are in the first batches of the new consoles that are coming in ships across the Pacific from China, where Microsoft's contract manufacturers assemble the boxes. If they get here in time, then many of those machines could be ready for fall sales.
Enjoy!!!

hey guys , in xbox forums some people are saying that the new 65nm consoles are out.
here is a way to see either you have a new cpu or not... they also say that it has less power consumption.

http://forums.xbox.com/1/15804553/ShowPost.aspx#15804553

all i am wondering is since there are no premium stocks in Malaysia can it be because they were waiting for the new cpus? and can anyone check this with his/her console ?

How to see if you have a 65nm (Falcon) console:

First, get a flashlight that is very bright. Then put your console upside down (HD side down). You should be looking at an black or grey piece of plastic which is the bottom vent. Shine the flashlight directly into the bottom of the console (it works best to sit the flashlight on the plastic).

Then move the flashlight to the right side of the plastic. When you look inside of the console directly below the light, you will see a large white piece of plastic. This is the airflow shroud. You can see this highlighted in this picture: http://i181.photobucket.com/albums/x127/MRCUR/S8000516-2.jpg

Next, move the flashlight to the left a bit and look into the console again. You are looking for the large silver square that is directly in front of the airflow shroud. This piece will tell you whether or not you have a 65nm console.

(Notice that there is no heatpipe on the new 65nm CPU heatsink.)

Why do people care about the CPU it's the GPU that need to be look at,as the GPU created more heat then the CPU.That is why GPU overheat always occur error 0102 exp

It the GPU that need 65nm process not the CPU ...I did not even heard of any people get CPU overheat in their XBOX360 ....(Stupid M$)

since for falcon, CPU is 65nm but GPU is still 90nm, why not they switch the heatsinks around and redesign the mobo? i feel the bigger heatsink can benefit the GPU more.

and yes, even with the extra heatsink, there are reports on the net those batch can also 3RL sad.gif

I've been patiently waiting for a reliable, 3ROD-free Xbox360.

And now, this. mad.gif

Don't know yet, that only based on theory. Somebody experience with falcon console may tell what the real story. Heard also not only cpu & motherboard they changed but also cooling system design.

Even the Halo 3 limited Xbox360 which is said to be using the new 65nm cpu is not spared of 3ROD. sweat.gif
